The sound of ocean waves continued.
"The climate in the New World really is ever-changing. But because of that, we get to see scenery we’ve never seen before."
On the deck, Nami leaned in Rorschach’s arms and spoke softly.
Flying in the sky for long periods was quite boring and lacked the feeling of adventure.
So Nami suggested sailing on the sea to experience the New World’s climate. After all, she was the woman who wanted to draw a world map.
How could she feel the vastness of this sea just by flying in the sky? With the unanimous agreement of the girls, the Ryūyū returned to the sea.
Rorschach wasn’t in a hurry anyway. There was still a long time until the sign-in at Punk Hazard, and he might need to stay there for a while.
"Hehe, the New World is not only strange in climate, even the islands are incredibly magical. There are countless islands like the Boin Archipelago made entirely of food. You’ll see these wondrous sights in the future."
Rorschach affectionately rubbed Nami’s hair and said.
This had become a daily routine. Rorschach often accompanied Nami to the deck to watch the sea and observe the weather.
"You’re poking me."
Nami gave him a reproachful look. Although this man was incredibly strong, he was always thinking about that kind of thing, even when accompanying her to watch the sea.
"Hehe, the weather feels quite hot. Why don’t we go back first and take a bath to cool down?"
Rorschach laughed strangely, showing no embarrassment. It was because Nami had developed so well after two years.
"No, you can wash by yourself. I still want to enjoy the sea breeze for a while. We can talk about anything else tonight."
Nami helplessly pushed him away, then sat alone on the beach chair on the deck. It was specially made for the crew to rest and watch the sea. The large parasol above could also block direct sunlight.
It had to be said that the Ryūyū’s entertainment and leisure facilities were extremely complete — almost nothing was missing.
Seeing that Nami didn’t want to go with him, Rorschach shrugged.
Was he really after cooling down? Since the main dish wasn’t coming along, there was no point. So he stayed behind to chat with Nami.
"Rorschach! Come over here and look~~"
Suddenly, Kalifa walked out from the cabin with a mysterious smile on her face and called out to Rorschach.
"Kalifa, did you guys make some dark cuisine again? I’m not eating that stuff this time."
Kalifa’s sudden appearance piqued Rorschach’s curiosity, but after seeing that mysterious smile, his face fell.
Although the girls had all reached top-class chef level and their dishes were rarely bad, their bold "innovation" meant they would occasionally come up with some weird creations.
In the end, these "finished products" would always be used by Kalifa to trick Rorschach into eating them through coaxing and temptation.
Although Rorschach had long seen that these things didn’t look edible, he doted on Kalifa so much that he still tried them every time. The results were obvious, so every night after eating those dark dishes, he would fiercely "punish" Kalifa, making her taste some of Rorschach’s special "cuisine."
"It’s not that! Hurry up and come over. I have a surprise for you to see."
"A surprise? As long as it’s not a scare."
Seeing her urgent look, Rorschach lazily stood up from the beach chair.
"What scare? You’ll know when you come over. Hurry!"
Seeing Rorschach’s lazy attitude, Kalifa went over to help push his back toward the cabin.
"Alright, alright, I can walk by myself."
This action also aroused Nami’s curiosity. She took off her sunglasses and placed them on the nearby tea table, then followed along.
"Don’t open your eyes, okay? Only open them after I finish counting down!"
In the hall of the cabin, Rorschach sat on the sofa while Kalifa covered his eyes from behind.
"I know, seriously, why are you being so mysterious?"
Rorschach replied helplessly.
What was the point of closing his eyes? He had Observation Haki. Although he couldn’t truly "see," he could still sense some things.
Through Observation Haki, he sensed several familiar presences in front of him — all crew members.
So many people, and they wanted to give him a surprise. Was it about that thing he had always wanted to do?!
No, Robin was there too. She had said she wouldn’t let him succeed until he completed the task she gave him.
So what exactly was it?
With a mix of curiosity and anticipation, Rorschach opened his eyes when Kalifa counted down to 3-2-1.
"Tada~~ Cute, right?!"
Kalifa released her hands covering his eyes and revealed a big smile, showing off her masterpiece.
What entered Rorschach’s sight was Perona’s somewhat shy figure.
In Rorschach’s eyes, Perona had always been a beautiful girl sealed under a cute, eerie style.
From the anime’s two-years-later outfit, one could see her proud figure and stunning appearance.
After removing that child-like clothing, she had a complete "makeover."
Standing in front of him now was a carefully dressed Perona in a red Gothic lolita dress that fully highlighted her attractive figure.
The front of the little skirt had some sheer lace, she wore a small hat, and her previous twin tails had been changed into curls, perfectly matching her current temperament.
It was a complete 180-degree change from her previous Ghost Princess style.
"This... this..."
Rorschach’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor. The contrast after the style change was simply too strong.
The cute little princess now looked like a cute yet mature noble young lady, shedding her previous youthful innocence.
"Uhehehe, were you scared?! We were completely shocked too. We didn’t expect Perona to look so cute after changing outfits. This is a dress that Robin and I carefully chose!"
Kalifa said proudly.
In contrast, Perona’s face became increasingly shy.
"I was indeed scared. You look very beautiful, Perona!"
For Perona appearing in a brand new style, Rorschach, as an LSP, was naturally very satisfied. He didn’t hold back his praise and gave a thumbs up.
"R-really?!"
Perona, who had been treated like a doll by Robin and Kalifa for a long time, suddenly became very shy when it was time to show herself.
After receiving Rorschach’s praise, her face turned even redder, but she still asked expectantly.
"Of course it’s true. You look super beautiful right now!!" Rorschach nodded vigorously.
The best proof was that his LSP detector had already reacted.
